[Bug 1727751] Re: ubuntu-distro-info shows bionic as "latest development" and "supported stable version" at the same time

[Nobuto Murata]

I didn't mean that way. Let me set it back to ditro-info package and
update the title and description.

** Package changed: distro-info-data (Ubuntu) => distro-info (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: distro-info (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => New

** Summary changed:

- ubuntu-distro-info shows bionic as "latest development" and "supported stable version" at the same time
+ ubuntu-distro-info shows the current development series as "latest development" and "supported stable version" at the same time

** Description changed:

- bionic should not be listed up as "supported stable versions"?
+ The current development series (cosmic as of today) should not be listed
+ up as "supported stable versions".
  
  $ apt policy distro-info
  distro-info:
-   Installed: 0.17
-   Candidate: 0.17
+   Installed: 0.18
+   Candidate: 0.18
    Version table:
-  *** 0.17 500
-         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages
+  *** 0.18 500

- $ grep bionic /usr/share/distro-info/ubuntu.csv
- 18.04 LTS,Bionic Beaver,bionic,2017-10-19,2018-04-26,2023-04-26
+ $ grep cosmic /usr/share/distro-info/ubuntu.csv 
+ 18.10,Cosmic Cuttlefish,cosmic,2018-04-26,2018-10-18,2019-07-18
  
+ So the release date of "cosmic" is 2018-10-18 in distro-info-data, so
+ cosmic as the current development series should not be listed with
+ `ubuntu-distro-info --supported` because it's before the date as of
+ today.

  Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark"
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver"
+ Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" <<< should not be here because it's a development series still.

Title:
  ubuntu-distro-info shows the current development series as "latest
  development" and "supported stable version" at the same time

Status in distro-info package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The current development series (cosmic as of today) should not be
  listed up as "supported stable versions".

  
  $ ubuntu-distro-info --date 2018-06-27 --devel -f
  Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish"

  $ ubuntu-distro-info --date 2018-06-27 --supported -f
  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr"
  Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus"
  Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark"
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver"
  Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" <<< should not be here because it's a development series still

  
  $ apt policy distro-info
  distro-info:
    Installed: 0.18
    Candidate: 0.18
    Version table:
   *** 0.18 500
          500 http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

  18.10,Cosmic Cuttlefish,cosmic,2018-04-26,2018-10-18,2019-07-18

  So the release date of "cosmic" is 2018-10-18 in distro-info-data, so
  cosmic as the current development series should not be listed with
  `ubuntu-distro-info --supported` because it's before the date as of
  today.

  $ ubuntu-distro-info -h
  ...
    -d  --devel            latest development version

        --supported        list of all supported stable versions
